Anthony Joshua is currently navigating a major career comeback in April 2026, with his team negotiating a long-awaited “British Blockbuster” against Tyson Fury.
Joshua is planning a return to the ring in July 2026, likely against a lower-level “warm-up” opponent like Deontay Wilder, before a massive showdown with Tyson Fury tentatively scheduled for November 2026.
Tensions spiked in April 2026 after Fury outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov and called Joshua out from the ringside; though AJ refused to enter the ring then, promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that a two-fight deal is currently being discussed with Saudi authorities.
In a tactical shift, Joshua has recently been training in Valencia, Spain, with the team of his former rival Oleksandr Usyk, seeking a fresh approach to his boxing form.
Joshua’s most recent professional fight was a six-round knockout victory over Jake Paul in Miami in December 2025. Joshua is a two-time former unified heavyweight champion (WBA Super, IBF, WBO, and IBO).
